Chinese rowers Liu Zhiyu and Zhang Liang pocketed a historic bronze medal in the men's double sculls on July 28. The third-place finish delivered China's first ever Olympic medal in men's rowing.

Athletes in these six sports contributed 28 gold medals, about 74 percent of the total title haul, while strong Olympic debuts from a host of rising stars also bode well for the 2024 Paris Games.

"Hopefully, this Games will only be the beginning for many more successes ahead in my career," said 19-year-old diver Wang Zongyuan after winning the men's synchronized 3m springboard with Xie Siyi.
